Over my life, I have accumulated a lot of gardening and landscaping knowledge. When I was a child, I helped my mother tend her garden. When I moved into my first apartment, I created a mini "urban" garden on my patio balcony. I even grew healthy organic vegetables that I then enjoyed incorporating into my meals. I now have a home with a large yard and was very excited to finally be able to plan and install a large-scale landscaping project. While I recruited help from professionals during the installation process, I insisted on helping them because I enjoy planting flowers so much! I am eager to share all of my tips and tricks for landscaping success on my new blog, so come back to check out new posts often!
